Another Catastrophe beckons
23 Mar 2006
John Robbie believes the Cats have no chance of causing a Vodacom Super 14 upset against the Highlanders on Saturday.
Speaking on Boots&All, Robbie commented on coach Frans Ludicrous’ team changes and dismissed the chance that the inclusion of Wayne Julies and others will have any effect.
“It’s a case of rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, isn’t it?” Robbie quipped.
The Cats have only one victory, an error-soaked encounter with the Chiefs in Round 2, and a succession of drubbings have the team settled as the bottom South African side.
With CEO Andy Turner making the comment that his team regards the home and away legs as two separate competitions, presumably the Cats have already pencilled in Saturday’s fixture as a loss.

If they are playing in 2 separate competitions, who else is in their competition?
Maybe the Force, Reds and Stormers

do like the sharks and get a kiwi 1st 5 and the cats maybe a chance.

My guess is the Cats won’t be walking away with two trophies.

Keo,
being so close to rugby’s management structures in SA what is your opinion of Turner and Ferreira? As a GLRU supporter I get the impression they are uncreative, reactive individuals not willing to take any risks- and unable to be strong leaders. But I’s sitiing on the outside looking in. You are closer to the inside and can give us a more accurate assessment. I fear that the Lions (and Cats) are going no-where fast.

Now I hear that there might not be a team being relegated at the end of the s14, damn!!

katsesnor (8),
might be wrong but i think Keo is “only close to the inside” with the stormers/WP and the feedback that get’s to him from the Cats are “so – so and secondhand”….
Maybe ths Cats are worried to “open up”…
I might be wrong but thats what i think.
24 Mar 2006, 08:07 am
The cats do not know the meaning of opening up.When Robbie played for transvaal they where just as kak so who is he to criticize?
24 Mar 2006, 08:55 am
I feel it in my bones … this is the weekend all our kitty cat supporters have be waiting for .. the weekend that our estem leader Ludecrous finally reveals his crafty plan of winning the s14 .. yep, feel it em my bones …… no wait … maybe I’m comming down with flu …

he might be a reasonably good commentator, but what did they win when he played for Transvaal?
24 Mar 2006, 09:59 am
John Robbie = TheTackler!
Whats up Stan, no ****-erotic comment? You sick?
24 Mar 2006, 09:59 am
Stan, the man is right irrespective of what Transvaal achieved or not. Bulls will do well to listen. We all know the Bulls need to do more with their backline. They have quality backline players but lack the gameplan (and confidence?) to play wider.

Antone in there right mind could have said that and seen it from a mile back. The cats are a bunch of individuals in a team game, playing as individuals, and not one of them I bet would know the next guys weakness and strngth, because if they did, they would at least be losing by a respectable margin.
24 Mar 2006, 10:06 am
Na Robbie could never ever be the tackles.

Think about it pompies, his in depth knowledge of rugby, certain sayings and direct facts.
Gotta be him.
Plus he loves to stir it up!

STAN in the early-mid 80′s John Robbie had some GREAT SEASONS for Transvaal and was rated the no. 1 scrummie in SA. Would have WALKED into a Bok team but for a couple of years the Boks had NO-ONE TO PLAY WITH……
24 Mar 2006, 11:53 am
Robbie is stating the obvious.
In the early, mid 80′s we had Divan, Garth wright, Johan Roux, Joost, Henti Maartens etc.
24 Mar 2006, 12:12 pm
Stan
Joost first played for the Boks in ’93 and Roux in ’94. You’re ONLY 10 years out!!! Well done!!!
Garth’s first test was in ’86. In between Divan and Garth Robbie was the MAN.
Have your say
